    Thanks for your tips! I'm a postal worker (history major however) looking to change careers into teaching and I just had my first interview for a middle school history position! Your video really helped me prepare, especially your point of telling them about yourself in terms of your education and your passion for becoming a teacher and making sure to slow down and ask questions to make things more clear when you don't understand a question :) I actually caught them smiling when I asked what an acronym was and they had to stop and think themselves giving me a few extra seconds to prepare an answer in my head. Thanks a ton for your great video! Good luck to you in this difficult time and anyone else who is interviewing for teaching jobs!-Zach

    I'm interviewing tomorrow via Zoom and yes, I'm kind of cramming! Although I'm a seasoned teacher, it's been 5 years since my last interview...which was very informal. Tomorrow's experience is going to be very different in many ways and I'm feeling pretty anxious about it!
    I'm looking at going back into teaching Spanish Pre-K -6 (private school)...coming from current position of secondary art (public school)! I have the experience and skills set for teaching Spanish at this level but not impressive credentials to list on paper...as far as certifications, etc.
    I need pointers on how to sell myself/ my abilities despite having my formal education in a different domain!

    One tip I have to is make sure you have a couple of good questions prepared to ask the interview panel at the end of the interview. They will always ask, “do you have any questions for us?” at the very end of the interview and make sure you have at least two questions ready to go!

You know the district, you know the staff and students, you know the programs they use... I think you should use that to your advantage and talk about all the awesome things you have been able to do for the school :)

    When you have been unemployed for one year and you know that employers will only be less likely to hire you the longer the gap this advice is outright horrible. You simply can not afford to raise your standards that high and let things like school climate get in the way of being hired.
